The Fort Bliss soldier charged with downloading child pornography received a Bronze Star Medal for heroic actions in combat along with 27 other commendations during eight deployments, according to records released on Tuesday.

Sgt. 1st Class Michael Hall, who was arrested June 3 on suspicion of receiving and distribution of materials involving the sexual exploitation of minors, was deployed four times to Iraq between 2002 to 2006 and twice to Afghanistan in 2005 and 2007, William Beaumont Army Medical Center officials said. He was most recently deployed to Trinidad in 2009 and Haiti in 2010.

Hall, 45, earned the Bronze Star Medal, along with four Army Good conduct Medals, two Air Medals, four Army Commendation Medals and three Army Achievement Medals, officials said.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert F. Castañeda granted a $25,000 bond to Hall after a two-day hearing last week in which federal prosecutors argued that Hall was a danger to the community because he suffers from post traumatic stress disorder.

Prosecutors said during the hearing that the charge Hall faces along with his work in the pediatrics unit at the Hugo V. Mendoza Soldier Family Care Center at William Beaumont Army Medical Center increased his risk to the community.

William Beaumont Army Medical Center officials said on Tuesday that Hall remains an active duty assigned to the medical center. Officials added that Hall worked at the care center in an administrative support role and had no involvement in patient care.

"We are confident that he had no contact with children in the performance of his duties," officials said. "Since he arrived at Fort Bliss in December 2012 until his arrest on 2 June 2015, SFC Hall's duty performance and behavior were acceptable. The conditions of SFC Hall's release from federal pretrial confinement preclude him from returning to his previous duties or working in any clinical capacity."

Hall's lawyer Randolph J. Ortega said during the hearing that Hall was not a threat to the community and should not be punished because he suffers from post traumatic stress disorder.

Hall has not posted bail and remains in El Paso County Jail, according to jail records. A trial date has not been set.

Hall also earned a Humanitarian Service Medal, Non-Commissioned Officer Professional Development Ribbon, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon, Combat Medical Badge, Expert Field Medical Badge, Aviation Badge and Parachutist Badge. Other medals Hall received include the National Defense Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, Global War On Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, Global War On Terrorism Service Medal and the Korea Defense Service Medal.
